Creationists: "God made us from dust!" Scientists: *points at Pillars of Creation* "Actually, these stellar nurseries are where heavy elements formed in dying stars that eventually became part of everything on Earth, including us." Creationists: "So... cosmic dust?" Scientists: *facepalm* "Yes, technically stardust, but you're missing the 13.8 billion years of context..." The irony is cosmic! We're literally walking collections of elements forged in stellar explosions billions of years ago, but sure, let's go with "dust" and skip the spectacular nuclear fusion part.
